Shovel Knight Hits Two Million Copies Sold

Shovel Knight released back in June 2014 and garnered popular acclaim for its use of retro graphics, sound level design, and excellent boss battles. Now developers Yacht Club Games has confirmed they’ve reached 2 million sales.

It is so inspiring that people still pick up, play, and fall in love with Shovel Knight for the first time every day.”
